The Balochi language is rich in terms for the natural features of a mountainous
country— mountains, streams, valleys, spurs, cliffs, passes, etc. The onlyapparently Arabic word among these is
Khaur, ‘a torrent bed’ (Ar. Khor), found
also in Pashto in the form
Khwar The common Arabic words wadi and jebel, which
are to be found from the Persian Gulf to the Atlantic Ocean, never occur awayfrom the coast which is navigated by Arab sailors.
